Well, answering "because OL cannot cope with IMAP special-use folders"
would have raised the obvious "why not?", which is what Sam has
answered to, directly.
Consider these assertions (about OL2002, I haven't found their
OL2007-equivalent):
*You Cannot Store Non E-mail Special Folders on the IMAP Server*
Your Sent Items, Drafts, and Deleted Items folders cannot reside on
an IMAP server. Outlook requires that all special folders exist in
the default store. IMAP cannot act as the default store because it
cannot contain the non e-mail special folders.
*Different Deletion Model*
Deletion works through marking items for deletion, and then purging
all items marked for deletion in a given folder. There is not a
Deleted Items folder because moving an item in IMAP is inefficient.

Martin may want to check

and find out if anything has changed during the last decade...
Apparently, OL2010 does have a "folder mapping" feature. See
